Hopefully keep momentum up after beating Dundalk last week. Make a top of the table clash next week (although what difference if there's 9 points in it).

As an aside, should Bray be in this position come October, facing Dundalk, then Rovers, then Cork will be as hard an end to the season as you could get.

Any games on TV tonight?

Was annoyed it looked like it'd be 1-0 down at HT, but sure what a turnaround

ShamoBuc

From 1-0 down in the 40 min Bray lead 3-1 at HT, some turnaround.

City finding it tough, would love to sneak a 1-0 win

Bray have scored less than 2 goals in only 2 games, on paper should be a goal fest so you know what'll happen

Never thought Id be saying it but we could have close to a full house for a top of the table clash v Bray next Friday.

10 from 10 for Cork City is just dreamland stuff, especially with two away games in Dublin just finished with that we would have struggled with in previous seasons.

If the weather is good, hopefully be over 6k if not more.

I'm delighted with the season so far, and considering they got 2 losses in a row was tough to take. 21 points now, not far to go to be safe from relegation.

I would have been over the moon with 1-0 never mind 3

I heard a lot of talk about Cork not being overly impressive despite them winning games and i must admit they didn't impress me tonight. It was never a three nil game and i couldn't believe when we went behind.

But you simply cannot argue with Cork's record, ten wins out of ten is superb. They are clinical, simple as that.

I was only able to catch the first half on that betting stream thing, but City looked crap in that period, cant comment on the 2nd half cause the thing froze on me but a win is a win and if we are winning these games while playing like we did in the 1st half, well Im a bit excited to think of what we could do if we play well.

Same as many times already this season, start well, score, a five minute period of self destruction kills it off. Often with a penalty and general indiscipline. I have never seen a keeper do that for a penalty. He should've been substituted at half-time to make a point about losing control and has to be dropped.

Buttimer sterlingly did his bit to make sure Rovers got nothing going forward second half, but they were lucky to only concede four in the other end. Bray played him very well in fairness, showing up some inexperience amongst the newer players to the league perhaps to his random decisions.

This is it. I always felt we were in the game and i thought we could win it, but once we conceded we just collapsed and Cork pushed on from there. As i said, Cork were just very clinical. Maguire was very quiet tonight but the other Cork lads were able to get the goals so it's good signs there.

I've heard opposition fans of a few clubs say, Cork didn't play well against them but they are ten from ten for a reason.

Cork are very well organised and a very solid outfit they seem to be scoring goals now from different sources which was one of their main issues in recent seasons. I think they have a style that could do well in Europe.

As for Dundalk, we've been bang average to good at different parts of different games but generally the opposition has been pretty weak. If we were to beat Galway next week we'd finish with 24 points which is league winning form most years but Corks incredible start is a freak occurrence

Scoreline was harsh although Cork did deserve to win. We tried hard but didn't create enough to threaten Mcnulty. Wasn't massively impressed with Cork thought they improved a bit when Bolger came on for McCormack. Macguire was dealt with fairly well by Peers and Feely except for one break which led to a free from which Cork hit the post. We need to start picking up points soon or else we'll become stuck at the bottom.
